Cette réponse centrée sur l’État à la désindustrialisation démontre l’importance économique, politique et culturelle que revêt le « lieu » dans les efforts pour éviter l’effondrement de l’industrie lourde, une réponse qui était complètement absente du contexte américain et qui n’était apportée qu’avec parcimonie dans le contexte canadien.Abstract:On 13 October 1967 – “Black Friday” – the owners of the Dominion Steel and Coal Company (DOSCO) announced the imminent closure of the company’s Sydney steel works. Yet after a massive community demonstration dubbed the “Parade of Concern,” the provincial government, with significant federal assistance, purchased the plant from DOSCO and turned it into a provincial Crown corporation. This state-centred response to deindustrialization demonstrates the economic, political, and cultural importance of “place” in adverting the collapse of heavy industry, a response that was utterly absent in the American context and used only sparingly in the Canadian one.","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"36 1","pages":"31 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82071816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Les liens présumés entre l’organisation américaine et des protestants locaux, tels l’Orange Order et des politiciens conservateurs, conjugués à la longue tradition d’opposition aux catholiques au Nouveau-Brunswick, indiquent que le nativisme du Klan n’était pas étranger dans la province. Plutôt, il faisait partie d’une réaction de toute la région à une population catholique prospère qui s’opposait au milieu protestant anglophone. Le « protestantisme patriotique » transnational du Klan rejetait le bilinguisme et la participation des catholiques dans la sphère politique, tout en faisant la promotion des valeurs traditionnelles anglo-saxonnes et de la moralité protestante.Abstract:The Ku Klux Klan movement in New Brunswick in the 1920s and 1930s was part of a wave of anti-Catholicism in the Northeast. The supposedly American organization’s connections with local Protestants, such as the Orange Order and Conservative politicians, coupled with New Brunswick’s long history of anti-Catholicism, indicate that the Klan’s nativism was not foreign to the province. Instead, it was part of a region-wide response to a thriving Catholic population that challenged the Protestant, anglophone milieu. The Klan’s transnational “Patriotic-Protestantism” rejected bilingualism and Catholic participation in the political sphere while promoting traditional Anglo-Saxon values and Protestant morality.","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"97 1","pages":"110 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85748109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Halifax Relief Commission (1918-1976): Its History, Historiography, and Place in Halifax Disaster Scholarship","authors":"Barry Cahill","doi":"10.1353/ACA.2018.0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ACA.2018.0020","url":null,"abstract":"IN DECEMBER 1931 THE REVEREND DR. SAMUEL HENRY PRINCE, professor of economics and sociology at the University of King’s College and author of the first scholarly study of the Halifax Disaster,1 presented a paper to the Nova Scotia Historical Society entitled “The Halifax Explosion – Fourteen Years After.”2 In it he described in specific detail the core accomplishments of the Halifax Relief Commission: $4M on constructing temporary hospitals and houses (816 of the latter), 500 permanent houses erected (including 324 in what is known today in Halifax as “the Hydrostone”), repairs to 12,000 damaged houses, the settling of 16,000 claims for disaster losses (totalling $18.5M), assistance for 14,000 medical and convalescent cases, $1M to reconstruct churches and other public institutions, and $3.5M in pensions for the disabled as well as widows and orphans.3 The Halifax Relief Commission would continue to exist for another 45 years until 1976, focusing on the provision of pensions and similar assistance, but today it is forgotten, as obscure as the Halifax Disaster remains a defining, indelible moment in the public memory about the city. Yet in a recent study of the Nova Scotian experience of the First World War, historian Brian Tennyson properly includes the Halifax Disaster on 6 December 19174 and the Halifax Relief Commission as significant aspects of that experience.5 But to this day the Halifax Relief Commission remains the missing link in the historiography of the disaster. Why is that the case? This research note, through a close critical examination of the limited existing historical literature on the commission, attempts to answer that question. Created through legislation in April 1918, the Halifax Relief Commission was a federal-provincial hybrid: established by the government of Canada and incorporated by the Nova Scotia legislature. It was a cross between an administrative tribunal and a Crown corporation. Given the time and circumstances of its creation, any study of it must consider the expanding role of the Canadian state in wartime; doing so enables the student of administrative history to contextualize","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"56 1","pages":"110 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75973999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cosponsored by the Loyalist Research Network (LRN) and the Planters Studies Centre, the panel featured Barry Moody, a professor emeritus at Acadia University; Patricia L. Townsend, an archivist at the Esther Clark Wright Archives at Acadia University; and Keith Grant, a doctoral student in history at the University of New Brunswick (now an assistant professor of history at Crandall University). As the main coordinator of the LRN, it was my pleasure to chair this session. The panelists have graciously consented to have their comments reproduced here, with the addition of a submission by Gail G. Campbell, a professor emerita of history at the University of New Brunswick, who contributed to a vibrant discussion period after the presentations. The original idea for this panel must be attributed to LRN member David Bell, who reminded us that 2015 was the 60th anniversary of the publication of Esther Clark Wright’s The Loyalists of New Brunswick and who suggested that something should be done to mark the occasion.1 We should also note that 2015 marked the 120th anniversary of Esther Clark Wright’s birth and the 25th anniversary of her passing. The year of the conference (2016) was also the centenary of her graduation from Acadia University. The authors’ submissions reveal different aspects of Esther Clark Wright’s life and legacy. Barry Moody shares his various encounters with Wright over the years – a “tireless historian” as well as a “flesh and blood person.” In 1990, upon Wright’s death, Moody and Patricia L. Townsend collected her papers and arranged for their donation to the archives at Acadia University. Townsend comments here on Wright’s letters, manuscripts, and research notes – specifically, the many shoeboxes that were full of little slips of paper. Keith Grant, finishing his doctoral dissertation at the time of the conference, reflects on the ongoing relevance of Esther Clark Wright’s work to a graduate student studying religious communities in Planter and Loyalist Nova Scotia. And Gail G. Campbell completes this forum by reflecting on the significance of Esther Clark Wright’s scholarship, concluding that her work was “too far ahead of the curve to be properly appreciated in her own day. But it ought to be appreciated in ours.” The subject of our panel wrote 15 books and numerous articles over the course of her life, her last book appearing only a short time before her death.2 Many of these scholarly contributions are discussed below. What is clear from this examination is that Esther Clark Wright’s work is still relevant and continues to be used by","PeriodicalId":36377,"journal":{"name":"Regioni","volume":"77 1","pages":"112 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ACA.2018.0021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72534405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Préfontaine point to the significant growth of Métis/Metis studies1 since they (along with Leah M. Dorion) published their first bibliography in the late 1990s.2 Not only has the number of articles, books, blogs, and multimedia sources expanded exponentially, so too has the diversity of the field of study. Particularly important is the work of Métis scholars such as Jennifer Adese, Chris Andersen, Adam Gaudry, Brenda Macdougall, Zoe Todd, and Chelsea Vowel, among others, who are contributing their voices to an area of study that, for too long, was shaped primarily by scholars who were not part of Métis communities. These Métis scholars, along with Métis community members and non-Métis academics, have added greater depth and breadth to Métis studies in recent years, publishing in fields as diverse as political science, literature, law, language, history, art, and music. The six books reviewed here provide a sampling of this diversity and growth: Chris Andersen’s “Métis”: Race, Recognition, and the Struggle for Indigenous Peoplehood; Robert Foxcurran, Michel Bouchard, and Sébastien Malette’s Songs upon the Rivers: The Buried History of the French-Speaking Canadiens and Métis from the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Across to the Pacific; Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and Brenda Macdougall’s edited collection entitled Contours of a People: Metis Family, Mobility and History; Michel Hogue’s Metis and the Medicine Line: Creating a Border and Dividing a People; Dale Gibson’s Law, Life, and Government at Red River, Volume 1: Settlement and Governance, 1812-1872; and Gerald J.

In the segment he adlibbed about the Halifax Explosion and explained that he had convinced the movie’s producers to change his character’s nickname from “The Explosion” to “The Halifax Explosion.” Lowe went on to (mis)educate the host of the show, Jimmy Kimmel, about the details of the Halifax Explosion, and between the two men it was implied that the explosion was a forgotten historical event. Only four months earlier, on 6 December 2017, following months of preparation and public events leading up to the anniversary, the centenary of the Halifax Explosion was commemorated. The response from Canadians to the segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live was swift and largely condemnatory of both Lowe’s inaccurate recounting of the details of the disaster and the conclusion reached by the men that it was acceptable to laugh about the disaster now because it was 100 years ago and the victims have been “forgotten.”1 In the days that followed the story was picked up by provincial and national news outlets, first as a quirky interest piece but soon the focus shifted to popular outrage that the two men had joked about a tragedy that, despite being a century in the past, is still seen by many as integral to the identity of Haligonians. The short-lived scandal seemed to culminate in a letter being sent from Nova Scotian provincial labour minister Labi Kousoulis requesting an official apology from the comedian.2 Aside from the attention garnered by the irreverent treatment of the disaster detailed above, the assortment of new scholarship on the disaster and the contemporary responses to it published in 2017 (both locally and internationally) make it clear that the explosion, its victims, and its lasting effects are far from forgotten. The six texts reviewed here highlight the diversity of approaches to, and interpretations of, the records of this historic disaster: John Bacon’s The Great Halifax Explosion: A World War I Story of Treachery, Tragedy and Extraordinary Heroism; Keith Cuthbertson’s The Halifax Explosion: Canada’s Worst Disaster; David Sutherland’s “We Harbor No Evil Design”: Rehabilitation Efforts After the Halifax Explosion of 1917; Michael Dupuis’s Bearing Witness: Journalists, Record Keepers and the 1917 Halifax Explosion; Dan Soucoup’s Explosion in Halifax Harbour, 1917; and Susan Dodd’s The Halifax Explosion: The Apocalypse of Samuel H.
